Good evening,

If I may add a few more Rock Island bits

17112 White with black letters
17130 Blue with white ends & white numbers
17180 Blue with white ends & white numbers
17181 Blue with white ends & white numbers
17187 White with black numbers

Side note on the following:
17210 Blue with white ends and black numbers
17211 Blue with white ends and black numbers

For the New York Central crowd the Peoria and Eastern also had at least one green painted bay window caboose with the short windows but I can't seem to find the picture right now.  I believe it says "Quicker via Peoria" on it.  21498 & 21499 come to mind.

Thanks for looking,

I'd like to see the Conrail New England and Buffalo Division Cabeese.. (Same caboose that went through 3 different schemes plastered with safety slogans..)

This one?

Yep.. that's version 1..

Version 2 has a bit more blue and orange stacks (and different slogans)

Version 3 is the same as 2 except it's now Buffalo Division

Yes, we do have pictures (3 road numbers in 2 schemes) of the Peoria & Eastern cars so you can expect those at some point. Pittsburgh & Lake Erie was a neat road - busy as hell but small enough to get your head around. We have pictures of both the half bay window and phase 2 cars so expect the first of run of those in the near future.

Craig,

They're available with this run.

Yes. I accidentally left them off of the newsletter but they were on the spreadsheets provided to dealers and distributors. The stock numbers are:
40000 Half Bay Window version.
41000  Phase 1
42000 Phase 2
43000 Phase 3
44000 Phase 4

I think Walthers lists them.

I didn't see it mentioned on the Bluford site linked at the start of this string and I shy away from the Walthers site, it's search feature gives me a headache like Pete the Puma gets; so I had to ask Bluford directly. But good to know, and I'll be placing an order through Chuck as soon as the models are up on his site. Right now, all he has is the decorated models showing.

My quoted text about the undecs was directly from Craig (he's the "I" in "I accidentally left them off...").

Good to know, since I missed Craig's response. I just saw "Walthers" and my head starting spinning. Now, Chuck, list them please...

Does anyone know if BLW listed them? I looked briefly and didn't see them, but I may have just glaezed right over them.

He listed the new run of transfer cabooses, but it is a link to hogstrains or whatever the name is. Lol.  That is where you are going to have to preorder if you want BLW.
